[Gsoap2-develop] Query : Persistent Connection Using Gsoap

[Deepak M. <dee...@re...>]

 =A0=0Ahi,=0A=0AI have a requirement to build SOAP/XML based message =0Aint=
erface between two network nodes (not in anyway =0Arelated to any webservic=
e kind of stuff).  The requirement =0Ais two have both client/server implem=
entation on both sides =0Aand a typical flow would be like this : =0A=0A[No=
deA]                                                   [Node B] =0A |=3D=3D=

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D| =0A=0AHere you can notice that a TCP connectio=
n is established first, =0ASOAP messages are exchanged back and forth, requ=
est can be sent by either node.   =0A=0AI have these questions : =0A=0A1. M=
ost of the literature I have gone through talks of =0ASOAP for RPC based ap=
plications. Can I use SOAP for =0Aa non-RPC kind of application (for instan=
ce purely =0Afor peer-2-peer message  transfer as explained above - =0Awher=
e within the same TCP session multiple request/response =0Amessages are exc=
hanged back and forth.) =0A=0A2. Can we make two way asynchronous message p=
assing using gsoap in which after making a request we donot have to wait/bl=
ock for the response.=0A=0AI would be grateful if anyone can suggest a way =
out. =0AThanks in advance. =0ADeepak Mehra=0A
